Entrance

The Amapola Rooftop is a fabulous place!! I had pigeon peas soup (sopa de gandules) as appetizer which was amazing!! Really tasty!! The pechuga relleno de yuca with mamposteao rice was delicious and very generous portion. The views of the Arecibo River on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other are spectacular!! Must see!! Highly recommended!! I'll be back!!!

People around here done really use Yelp. They used FB and Google. So if u really wanna see pictures and get a better sense, start there but definitely post here. This place is amazing. Obviously I'm here during covid19 times but wow i am blown away. Best meal I've had on the island. Everywhere you go all it is is fried food. This is innovated, reimagined boricua food... i would love to come here at night (not during covid times) I'm sure the vibe here is really dope. I look forward to my next visit. Also i saw them wipe down the chairs and tables when others left.

The ambience and food were both amazing. I asked the waitress for a recommendation and ended up having a fantastic meal of carne frita (fried pork in garlic sauce) and some of the best beans and rice I've ever had. I strongly recommend this place!

This spot is a gem in Arecibo, beautiful murals, the staff was so friendly and amazing! Kevin took care of us and he was very attentive and great! The food is AMAZING! Everything was full of flavor and delicious. They also have life music! +++. Their drinks were so good, not watered down and you can taste the natural flavor of the fruits! Fully recommended go anyone visiting Arecibo!

This is the entrance of the restaurant. Excellent food and service. Relax environment.

What a great food experience!!! Casita Miramar easily earned a spot in my top 2 restaurants I've…read morehad the pleasure of dining at in Puerto Rico when it comes to quality food and an overall amazing experience. The restaurant itself is absolutely beautiful, and the service was excellent from beginning to end,from the hostess to the servers and bussers. Our server, Jeffery, was amazing! He was energetic, professional, attentive, and you can genuinely tell he takes his position seriously. I loved that! We were greeted with complimentary sopa de plátano and bacalaítos, and I was NOT expecting to love them as much as I did. This was by far the best sopa de plátano I've ever had. I never thought I could fall in love with a soup, but here we are! (I ordered a whole extra regular size bowl )The bacalaítos were another surprise because they're normally not something I order or even particularly like--and I've tried quite a few in my life--but these were absolutely delicious. My S/O and I shared the churrasco with arroz mamposteao, along with a side of avocado salad and majado de viandas. Everything was a straight 10/10. Not one disappointment on the table. They also make an amazing Rojo Pico, which was the perfect addition to the experience. 100% recommend Casita Miramar. Don't overthink JUST GO! Beautiful atmosphere, excellent service, and most importantly, genuinely delicious, quality Puerto Rican food. This place absolutely deserves the hype and its spot in my top two!

The workers were honestly the sweetest. the environment is so welcoming and calm…read more although i wasn't very happy with the food. i went with my family and we found the food very bland and overpriced!! my mom LOVES cooking and she could tell when frozen beans are served to her. the food tasted old and the rice look like it was reheated from days ago.. definitely might be a tourist trap. the aesthetics are beautiful but isn't worth the price. on the good side, they sell natural juices and the parcha juice was the best i ever had!!

My wife and I went twice in our 5 day stay in Rincon and loved it both times. I wish we'd gone…read moremore! Everything I got was amazing as were my wife's orders. We were also addicted to the parcha lemonade. That is a must-order. The empanadillas are awesome and I couldn't get enough of the pork (Order the mofongo with broth and fried pork!) We both fell in love with the town and with this restaurant. The staff were really nice, too. But, honestly with food this good I would have been back anyway. lol

Unfortunately, this was a very disappointing experience. After placing my order, I waited…read moreapproximately 44 minutes for my food to arrive. When the Churrasco Mofongo ($27.99) finally came out, the portion size was surprisingly small and did not reflect the price at all. For nearly $28, I expected a much more substantial serving and better overall value. What made the experience even more frustrating was that I also ordered four pastelitos at $2.99 each, and those ended up providing more food and better value than the $27.99 Churrasco Mofongo. It's hard to justify paying nearly $28 for an entrée when a few appetizers totaling less than half the price leave you feeling like you received more for your money. To make matters worse, the staff was largely inattentive throughout the visit. It was difficult to get anyone's attention, there were no updates regarding the long wait, and customer service felt like an afterthought, only because the question "Can I have an update on my order" was asked to the staff. A 44-minute wait can be understandable during busy times, but keeping customers informed goes a long way, especially when multiple families sat, ate, and left before receiving the order. Overall, despite the churrasco mofongo tasting really good, between the excessive wait time, the lack of attentiveness from staff, and the disappointing portion size, I left feeling that the meal was not worth the price. I hope management takes a closer look at both the service and the value being provided to customers.
